Let’s just say the relationship between ace pitcher Justin Verlander and swimsuit supermodel Kate Upton is streakier than the Tigers’ season.

New York Post’s Page Six published a story saying Upton was spotted getting cozy with her “Dancing With The Stars” ex Maksim Chmerkovskiy. He posted a photo of them cuddling on his Instagram page, and then quickly deleted it. (See below.)

It leaves questions that inquiring minds can’t help but ask: Has Upton already moved on? Where does that leave Verlander?

How well would a heartbroken Verlander play baseball? Most importantly, what could a chest-baring, gold chain wearing reality TV star have over a professional athlete?

The pair affectionately referred to as “Uplander” — Kate and Justin — appeared to go public with their relationship, Tweeting each other, getting photographed hand in hand on the street, attending games together, etc., just in the last few months. But their relationship was long rumored.
